"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

hey guys, im new here so i just thought id say hey to begin wiv. a few months ago I was a total afc but now I'm at least a mediocre dj and u can definitely tell by lookin at my social life. however, every now and again i get these bouts of AFCness which runs to the surface and i become an AFC again for a couple of minutes. It's like a Jekyll and Hyde thing.

Well here's my problem. I met this girl at my hair salon about a month ago. A couple of years older than me. We exchange numbers, and later she texts me first and we hav a bit of a text convo not much. Until a couple of days later she mentions in a text that she has a "bf". I'm assuming that means boyfriend. But it was just casual like "not been up 2 much my bf is over here rite now". Just real casual. And so right about here the afc in me comes rushing to the surface again. I totally chicken out, don't text her again. A couple of weeks have gone by. Please don't be so harsh on me for that... remember im new.

Anyway, yesterday my phone goes off and its from her asking how iv been. i debate whether or not I should text her back or not but then i settle on a yes (obv) but choose to wait a couple days so as not to sound too desperate. So I'm planning to text her today, but then I suddenly get another text from her saying basically the same stuff as before. I'm just confued about wat her intentions are and whether she wants a friend or "bf". I don't have a clue what's gone on her end and for all I know she may not have a boyfriend any more.

Little advice?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Well, she obviously has an interest in you. After all, she is continuing to text you. However, I say you wait a few more days at least to reply. If she keeps coming back, you know you've got something good.

You think I should wait still? Ok well if your sure, but if she doesn't come back again should I still reply to the one I got yesterday? I mean, if she has an interest, then I dont want to seem like I don't is all.

The BF bit was probably a shyt test to see how you would react. You obviously failed it, seeing as you chickened out.
See- 80% of girls with their boyfriends would text other guys if their bf was around. Unless the bf is a carefree dumbass.

Call her up, arrange to meet and work your magic.

I would have to agree with these gents. yes it seems she has interest in you if she continues to text you. You should set up a date and see how things go. But, if she does have a boyfriend I would next her because (pretty much always) she wont leave him for you and you'll be chasing something u will never have.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
